Oracle 12C: creating pluggable database

For some reason, I cannot create pluggable database if there are entry setting for DB_CREATE_FILE_DEST. Have to overwrite the setting. 

Refer to OCP Upgrade to Oracle Database 12C Exam Guide - Page 66-67. Page 67 did talk about letting Oracle to create the OMF datafile if the entry is set.

Seems like running the Create Pluggable command without specifying FILE_NAME_CONVERT.

Requirement: directory to the target database must be created prior to create the database.
